Insurgent by Veronica Roth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Insurgent was a great novel. It was definitely an emotional roller coaster ride: Tris trying to cope with Will's death at her hands, and Four being reunited with the mother who he thought abandoned him to an abusive father.
It was also exciting to see relationships tested, such as the fallout between Christina and Tris over Will's death. I must admit, though, Tris and Four constantly keeping secrets from each other and not informing each other of their decisions became a little annoying at times. I understand that they sometimes withheld secrets or didn't inform each other of certain decisions to keep the other from getting hurt. But it happened a little too much to me. And relationships are supposed to be trustworthy. Then again, maybe part of the story's intrigue was them getting to that level of trust, which they seemed to have did in the end.
Overall, Insurgent was awesome. I'm not in the young-adult age range, but I enjoy a good story with well-developed characters. And that's what Insurgent offers.
